The cattle Shipments.

The loss of cattle in Montana during
the winter of 1861 was enormous, and
as near rs could be ascertained it was
determined to haye been not lees than
so per cent OF all the cattle in the terri.
tory. This being the case, it was not ex-
pected that there would be any ship
ments of any consequence this year
either of cattle or sheep. The railroad
people have been greatly astonished at
the results. The figures show a ship
ment of 2,450 head of cattle during the
season of 1887, against S0,95O head in
1886, making a difference of only $500
between those two years. OF the ship
ments in 1886, 1900 consisted of Wash
ington territory beeyes, cutting down
the difference between the two seasons
to 6,22O head, there having been nc
Washington territory beeves shipped tc
Chicago owing to the local demand on
the Pacific coast.
This season the Northern Pacifi.
moved 5000 head of sheep to markei
against 110,625 last season, making a diff
ference of only 10,s95, or about 10 PEI
cent. This is a good showing consider
ing that sheep suffered more than tn
cattle last winter.

VIM. James and Chas. Higgenbettom,
who plead guilty to the charge of lar
ceny, were sentenced to one year each in
the penitentiary and a fine of 81 600.
The judge, in sentencing them, said that
he felt called upon to give them the full
extent of the law, as the U. S. attorney
had been very lienient with them in al
lowing them to be prosecuted for larceny
instead of highway robbery. This rob
berry, it will be remembered, was com
